Localyser: bootstrapped, with nobody to run outbound.

Localyser is a bootstrapped SaaS company helping multi-location restaurant groups manage reviews and reputation across every branch. There was nobody in-house to run outbound, and no clarity on whether it was viable at all.

Growth Rhino's team ran all of it, from the list to the campaigns, and shared what the data said as it arrived.

  • No team with Clay, Smartlead and HeyReach to run experiments
After
  • 39 interested replies
  • Messaging and offers tested across 60+ micro-campaigns
  • $200,000+ in pipeline sourced
  • A qualified list of multi-location groups, neither too large nor too small
◇ What they had

The challenge

Localyser had nobody in-house to run outbound. The founder wanted a team to run the campaigns, learn from the data, change course as results came in and share what it found. They also wanted Clay, Smartlead and HeyReach in use from the start, to test whether outbound could work as a growth channel.

How we found, sized and reached the right groups

    What we ran

    Our team used Clay to pull multi-location restaurants from Google Maps, then qualified each group by size so the list held only groups that fit. We wrote to VPs of franchising, owners and marketing leads by cold email and LinkedIn. Each message spoke to how they were centralizing operations and offered a demo, a free reputation audit or extra collateral.

◇ What changed

$200,000 sourced, and a channel proven.

Localyser's outbound sourced $200,000+ in pipeline and 18 booked meetings over six months, 2024 to 2025. The meetings came from 39 interested replies, the leading indicator.

The free audit and the collateral gave a franchising VP something useful before any sales call. That built trust and opened real conversations.
